The law of inertia says that an in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless an outside force causes a change!
The item hanging from the mirror is at rest. When the car moves, the object does not move until it is pulled by whatever it is hanging from! The car is going forward and the item is not moving, so it appears that the hanging item is going backwards!

Newton's 3 laws:
1) Objects at rest want to remain at rest.
2) Objects in motion want to remain in motion.
3) Objects won't change unless acted upon by an outside force.
The items swing backward as they don't want to move. So they try to stay in the same place (relative to the ground)
